19 New Songs Out Today

So many artists, so many songs, so little time. Each week we review a handful of new albums (of all genres), round up even more new music that we’d call “indie,” and talk about what metal is coming out. We post music news, track premieres, and more all day. We update a playlist weekly of some of our current favorite tracks. Here’s a daily roundup with a bunch of interesting, newly released songs in one place.

PATTERSON HOOD – “THE FORKS OF CYPRESS” FT. WAXAHATCHEE

The latest single from Exploding Trees & Airplane Screams, the new solo album from Drive-By Truckers’ Patterson Hood, is “The Forks of Cypress,” which features beautiful harmonies from Waxahatchee. “I wrote the song as pure fiction, inspired by those great story songs that Bobbie Gentry did, an ‘Ode to Billie Joe,’ etc., where she implies a story without really telling it,” Hood says. “In my head, I heard Katie Crutchfield (Waxahatchee) singing it with me and was blessed that she was willing to do so. She’s one of my very favorite artists, and such a lovely person.”

YOUTH LAGOON – “GUMSHOE (DRACULA FROM ARKANSAS)”

Youth Lagoon’s new album Rarely Do I Dream is out this Friday, and he’s shared a final advanced single ahead of its release, “Gumshoe (Dracula from Arkansas).” “Someone said my music makes them feel like they died in the forest, and I’ve honestly never heard a better compliment,” Trevor Powers says. “I don’t think I have a song that’s more suited for that description than ‘Gumshoe.’ I usually write out of pure love, delirium, or just to get the devil off my back, and this one checks all three boxes… it may be the closest I’ve come so far to finding real freedom in music.”

It feels very Brazilian, and ours definitely has a Southern Atlantic, laid-back beach party vibe. Listening to someone like George Benson is how we all learned to talk, in a way. We’re just contributing to the musical pantheon and paying homage to one of the greats. This is feel-good music.” It’s streaming everywhere and they also released a live performance video.
